Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game

The article states it got review bombed (but not what for). Dishonest negative score kinda throws out legitimacy of the whole thing, making it a bit less bad. I feel for the desperate dev, but I guess I still agree with you.

Depends the heuristics used. Bombing reviews most times do not cite their contentions, which can be dismissed.

  Review bombing requires
  
  A scandal, and there’s no indication Half Moon was involved in any such.
  
  Coordination, which is easy enough to find on Google or elsewhere. Again, no indication of such.
  
  Most of the time, at least some reviews in the bomb will state why they are downvoting the game. No indication of such.
  
  Sometimes bad reviews are just bad reviews.

Except they did not get review bombed and the article is blindly using the studio head as a source. Go look at the reviews, there actually is a ton of valuable feedback there.

  They kinda did. They pushed out a sizable update that fixed a bunch of issues, but also upped the difficulty. People liked the improvements, but not the difficulty change, and my understanding is that they fixed that issue quickly but not before a bunch of people complained about it.
  
  I get where they’re coming from, but I also don’t like them sking for positive reviews.
